Haha, yeah I wasn't planning on paying out 15,000 for a donate button.

Just throwing it out there that I will contribute to community projects and happy to do so.

15,000 isn't a lot for widgets, logos, buttons, language translations and community banter, I often donate 20,000 weekly just because. If you have seen I don't ask for anything in return, so this outcome is a positive for me.

I was more or less thinking of divvying it up and paying out to contributors, but if you guys want to make it a competition/bounty, I am happy to do it this way.

Guido, alex0909 and amytheplanarshift all added to the list to send some funds to for getting the ball rolling. You can do what you want with the funds or can add them back to this project.

p.s If you guys want to add your MEC address to the bottom of your signature that would be good, some members will find they often receive random donations 

Just start a foundation and keep a ledger. You have the community support, just need to put it together 

Alienwalkerx, I wanted to chime in on this one. I have to agree with Guido, that 15,000 MΣC is far too generous. I believe Kimoto offered 2500 MΣC bounty for our Megacoin symbol to be updated, and that was when MΣC had almost no value. Anyway, my idea would be to offer a set bounty for these things. We need to come up with a wish list of projects, and what they are worth to us. I have been trading PMs with flayway, and he apparently has a Finnish version of the client in the works, and is also working on a Russian version, and possibly a Vietnamese version. For the last couple, I think he needs help (a possible bribe .  I don't think it's fair that you and ethought always seem to be the ones donating all the MΣC. I was thinking we could elect a "MΣC treasurer", and ask for donations to pay out the bounties, and get these things done. This would also give some new MΣC fans a way to earn some coins. If we can agree on some sort of plan, I would be willing to make a donation.

Megacoin seems promising.

Thought the community here could use this info:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-will-happen-to-your-favorite-alt-coin-321086

just to give a bump
anyone in community capable of this?

Done and added to my previous post in order not to spam

A bit off-topic here, sorry for that, but check the comments, one out of two states bitcoin as a ponzi scheme
A lot of it is FUD still, but mr and mrs smith (aka the average guy) needs to get that it's a currency, not a ponzi, that's the hardest part right now with crypto...

If megacoin succeeds it has to offer something more than bitcoin, the gravity well is amazing and solved some important issues, but without a real differenciation and solid arguments it will not take off, too much competition i guess.

We can do all efforts we can to make it successfull, but it's what kimoto does which really matters. Without a good developper and fresh ideas i don't see how we can surpass feathercoin for example, as a currency.

Furthermore i think that our coin is very inflationary, we will soon get into the 25coins per block value, if the price and interest has not boomed by then, i can only fear the worst.

We are not too bad right now, and have a strong community, i am always surprised by the number of MEC enthusiasts.

I know that zerocoin/coinjoin is on our path, and that would be amazing, but yet, i doubt that it can be realised. Still, that would bring a lot of people into megacoin, but also put us as a ''shady'' coin, just like bitcoin when it was only backed by SR/BMR.

I got on the megacoin boat on august, it's my third crypto in terms of investment right now, i don't have much, low five digits still so not that bad.

Once zerocoin is implemented (if it is) or if megacoin gains more supporters, we should really start a new forum for it, more structured than this thread.

We would gain a lot by doing this i guess. Still i don't see this happen for the next months. I could set one up, but i lack both resources and time to do so.
I would gladly help still.

GO MEC!

An interesting story...

http://news.yahoo.com/norwegian-man-buys-flat-forgotten-24-bitcoin-investment-174651722.html

Even with his success, this person still apparently doesn't understand. 

"It's bizarre, these psychological reflexes that make us attach a value to something that doesn't have any in itself."

Like un-backed fiat currency does?

This is only the beginning, and it won't be long before even the most clueless figure it out. 

It 's great to see some action! Nice designs!

Also the russian translation may indeed help us going to btc-e!

I contacted the owner of this site a while back via email, but never heard back
coinwidget.com


the source is on github
https://github.com/scottycc/coinwidget.com

i also posted about this on this thread while back and noone commented, but hopefully noe people have some interest

currently his site and widgets only support ltc and btc

I know ftc tinkered around and did their own

they have a link on their site
again, this is ideal
http://www.feathercoin.com/buttongen/

(please visit link above to see how good and useful is)

if anyone has some basic coding skills, this could be easiest way to make fully working widgets for websites to take donations
would need to add custom megacoin graphics etc

ideally then once made, the widgets could be hosted on megacoin.co.nz so people can just paste and add to their site, like ftc have, a dedicated page


other bonus graphics people are making can be used for people to asvertise megacoin on their sites or manually add their address if need be by using simple graphics editor to add wallet address


note; just to add anyone using the code has to give credit I think
feathercoin forked it (as they normally do most things lol)
https://github.com/Mark-Leck/FeatherCoinWidget
and gave credit

so anyone doing this (and imo would be well worthy of alienwalkers bounty) and the thanks of mec community
would really need to do over at github

Don't get me wrong, I'd love MEC to rise above LTC in market cap.
I'm not making an "absurd claim".

Originally I had said -


after, kimoto had posted previously


I then proposed a 'theory'. A theory not requiring evidence...
BTW, it's not like we haven't seen people giving away prizes to themselves via alternate logins on this forum is it?

that's excellent Alex!

I think you are very confused.  In my book there is no such thing as being overly defensive. It's just a matter of being able to understand the truth, and being on the right side.   If you are going to make some absurd claim, at least back it up with some evidence?

Again, there is a difference between being a puppet, and being a supporter. I don't know much about Kimoto, but one thing I do know, is that he isn't looking to make a couple quick bucks off some fly-by-night junk coin. At least I'm smart enough to know a good thing when I see it. And although I shouldn't really diagram it out for you, I believe there is more truth to his analogies that you can possibly imagine...

 I certainly am paying attention to his "quotes".   

yes, on the official site
kimoto can add anyhwhere

like here
http://www.megacoin.co.nz/guides

or here:

http://www.megacoin.co.nz/downloads


I think is good if we have some uniform  buttons, banners, ideally from one person

I mean is up to alienwalker how he divides spoils for people efforts, so all contributors get something
however, makes sense for the final designs added to site to come from same person, so same fonts etc and designer

I personally would like to see some banner setc buttons with use of the few main mec images for coins that are mainly used

so a small one of these would look nice on a donate button



as well as seeing the two main ones centre and centre left



what does everyone else think?



  

You're ignoring kimoto's quote and being overly defensive.
The puppets are awake, good morning puppets!

Once the design(s) are finalized we can have kimoto put them up on the website. I saw on there that he has packages for businesses "coming soon" so this could be part of that.

Yes, we should put them in an easy accessible place

If everyone agrees I can package up the PSD files for easier use/customization and put them up for download. Just want to make sure everyone likes the design first.

These are perfect, we can definitely use them. Thanks!
